Lesson 1

In this lesson we look at the JAWS Dictionary Manager. The JAWS Dictionary Manager is useful for pronouncing words or phrases that a speech synthesizer may not pronounce correctly. Its most common use is for pronouncing names and places correctly.

There are two keystrokes you can use to open the Dictionary Manager:

• INSERT+F2 opens the list of JAWS managers. The Dictionary Manager is one of the items in this list.
• Alternatively, you can bypass the list of managers and open the Dictionary Manager immediately at any time by pressing INSERT+D.
